Yeah I don’t see this as an issue

Usiy the word to convey a certain meaning or intent doesn’t mean you condone it, it doesn’t mean I have Hitler posters on the wall.

Same as master/slave; I don’t have a dungeon filled with human beings that have to do everything I say. I do have a database setup with a master and multiple slaves. I don’t condone slavery btw, one would think that is obvious

Want more? How about male/female plugs? Need to van those words too now because somehow that is sexist? Am I excluding transgender people for not having a trans plug? Should we rename those to… I do t even know! We call them that because it makes sense, one goes inside the other, and maybe, juuuuust maybe we shouldn’t read too much into it?

How about killing all my children! Oh shit, I am an insane mass murderer now! Worse? How about forking a child process? Ooooh shiiiiit, now I am a pedophile! Except that, yeah, no, all that too are just words we use to easily explain relationships between processes on computers, and how we duplicate processes or end them, and we use those words because they make intuitive sense. But, I guess that too soon willl be an issue.

I can’t wait for the kill command to be renamed to “snuggle” or something.

I wonder what caused that to happen 🤔

Previous post for me:

US demands access to tourists’ social media history

Yeah, I won’t be setting foot anywhere there for a while to come

If they already have the info, the n why ask?

US doesn’t understand why nobody wants to visit their shit hole Country anymore

This will also face criticism of normal people, and that kind of is the point.

If you put up messages like these, then automatically call valid criticism mysogenistic, then you can’t call yourself the good guy/gal anymore

This is like politicians making some bullshit argument about protecting kids from abuse and anyone trying to give criticism automatically is in the “are you a pedophile, then?” camp.

If you have an argument to make, make a valid one and keep your auto judgement system off.

according to a report that argues global inequality has reached such extremes that ugrgent action ha.cms become essential.

I guarantee you that that 0.001% agrees, there are too many of them, that should be 0.00001% instead

Fuck the rich!

I call for hard limits on personal networth and the worth of companies

No single person should be able to control more than 10M, companies shouldn’t be worth over 1 billion

Anything over that, goes to taxes.

It’s a single basic rule that requires more rules below for sure to ensure it works well, but this should be codified in a world wide constitution.

This way, nobody gets crazy amounts of money, nobody will have to be poor because the government will have a huge income that it can use for universal healthcare, education, universal basic income, etc…

Crime would go down the drain because nobody NEEDS to be a criminal anymore. There will still be a few anti social elements but good luck finding people wanting that life if they can just have a good, safe, and happy life.

Bribery and corruption? How even, and why take the risk?

There is no logical reason why anyone should have to be allowed to control this much wealth.

Investment companies must all be dismantled and all their funds transferred to independent non profit organisations that, again, won’t be able to control more than over a billion. Government can transfer money to these foundations so that loads of people can have investments for startups or whatnot

We’d need similar simple rules for governments too. All governments must be democracies, and all should follow a world constitution where we have a few basic rules that make sure nobody will ever get too much power.

It doesn’t require a lot of changes at the top. Basically these three rules, all the rest flows out of those rules. We can keep capitalism and use it’s raw power to generate resources for everyone.

What this needs is political will, this needs people to want this, need this.

That is the problem though, isn’t it?

We’re at a point that AI is shoved hard in everything and your mother, yet actual useful applications for AI barely get any attention.

It’s all about the useless and criminal like chat bots, nudifier apps, and the hilarious claims that AI really can do software development

It’s all pushed by lying psychopaths who convince empty headed politicians (seriously, we need a required IQ test or something for people who want to become politician) to invest billions in their bubble balloons.

Those billions are them used to build new datacenters that nobody wants and which destroy the environment in all sorts of creative ways

This is not a tool used wrong. This is somebody inventing guns and now everybody wants to shoot those guns at everything and your mother.

If tomorrow AI and the knowledge we have about it would completely disappear from the world, it would be a better place.

None of that seems very hard

Find other people and invest with a group. You’ll end up with loads of companies with lots of small shareholders. If your shares become worth souch that you go over the 10M, you’ll have to sell some or have some taxes for taxes.

Maybe have governments fund independent investment foundations that can help setup startups

This isn’t even a utopia, it’s literally current capitalism with a small set of core rules added that will make a huge difference between now and how it could be.

It could be that nobody has to be poor anymore. Governments will have huge incomes so loads of money for socialist projects like free education and healthcare and housing.

The few problems I’ve seen mentioned so far, to me, are literally details that follow from the core rules.

Nobody can be worth more than X (and for now, say that X is 10M) and companies cannot be worth more than Y (let’s say 1 billion dollars). Both values can be +/- 5% if you hover at the limit, that doesn’t really matter much. What does matter is that we’re now finally all equal and still have capitalism as the core engine, allowing for all the freedoms we have today

I love how so many different independent organizations have verified what’s happening to the uyghurs, and you’re like “I’m a German in Berlin, 1939, and I can’t see anything bad happening to the Jews!”

You do understand that the Nazi camps weren’t exactly advertised to the people, just like China doesn’t really advertise the uyghur detention centers?

You haven’t seen the photos? The videos?

Or are you one of those “any evidence against my religious beliefs is forged!” types?

… You really actually believe all this, don’t you?

I’m just wondering options here. Mental illness, maybe? Lack of basic education? Paid shill? I mean, there are options to explain you, but none of them are very goo

You use a post from a Chinese controlled media outlet to show that there really isn’t a genocide happening with the uyghurs, even when the rest of the word says there is? You prefer to believe the words of state media in a dictatorship over actual photo and video evidence? You prefer “good is bad, up is down” rhetoric over the actual testimonies of uyghurs themselves?

Yeah, I’ll go with paid shill

I believe it’s just mental illness

Well let me put it differently then

Yeah, I’m sure quite a few wars weren’t about religion directly. I’m also quite sure that Gods and religion has been used in almost all wars to convince people they are the righteous, to convince them to commit horrible atrocities

Even the Nazis had “god ist mitt uns” (pardon my horrible German) in their belt buckles.

Aren’t both of those just the eventual outcomes for lack of regulation?

Responding 2 months after I posted this and still you managed to get it removed by a mod in under 4 hours. What fucked up things did you write there, buddy?

Not at all

Just saying that this current group of roaches have nothing going for them. Nazi’s at least made it look impressive, they had their ideology as fucked up as it was.

These fucking losers don’t even have that, and it just makes me wonder how the fuck were losing to a bunch of dweebs like that.

Well, yeah. At least they had an ideology, at fucked up as it was, that is what drove them and from their perspective, they could at least say they wanted something better (they didn’t, not the point). Also, Nazi’s at least made it look impressive.

These roaches today don’t even have none of that.

This is actually it, the point I was trying to make. I couldn’t really put my finger on it yesterday, but yes, this is it.

At least they start of for something. It was a fucked up thing, it was wrong, it was horrible, but at least it was something. At least they made it look impressive and great. This group of fat losers don’t even have that going for them.

Family guy

And? A crime boss wannabe committed crimes!

You don’t say!
